My Order

The Commandant's Shadow (12A)

Aldeburgh Cinema, Sunday 24 Nov 2024, 10:00  - ends at 12:13

Eight decades after Auschwitz, this film records the extraordinary meeting between Hans Jurgen Höss, the son of the camp Commandant, and Jewish prisoner Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who survived because she was a cellist for the Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz. By delving into several generations of each family, the documentary reveals the long shadows that Auschwitz still casts over so many lives.
